Miniature Masterpieces Everyday

"Apple" 6"x8" oil, March 26, 2006 A friend of mine and I were discussing some other artists we know that were completing a small painting everyday and posting them on a blog page and also offering them on eBay. We thought it sounded like fun and decided to try it ourselves. The worst thing that could happen is that we would have a bunch of nice small paintings stacked against our studio walls and improve our painting skills. I will use everyday objects for my subject matter. I have always been very visual and try to really look at things instead of just seeing things. There is a difference between looking and seeing and I would like my paintings to be a reminder of that. I will try to post a new painting everyday along with a link to the eBay auction site.

About Me

Name:Darren Maurer

Location:Sioux City, Iowa

I'm an artist from Sioux City, Iowa. I grew up in Grand Island, Nebraska and have lived in Sioux City since 1989. Visit my website at www.darrenmaurer.com to see the full volume of my work. For this blog I'm going to try to make a painting each day. I may miss a day here and there just due to that thing called life. The paintings on this blog will be small oils. (I like to call them Miniature Masterpieces.) On occasion I may post a larger painting with the dimensions listed. I'm going to use an auction format (via ebay) to sell the Miniture Masterpieces. Paintings that don't sell at auction can be seen in the archive section and can be purchased with a personal check, money order, pay pal, or major credit cards through pay pal at the listed price.
